Interesting fact

The Batzen coin from the City of Thann (French States) made of Silver weighing 3.32g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the reign of King Francis I of France, who ruled from 1515 to 1547. The coin was minted between 1533 and 1545, and it was used as a standard circulation coin during that time. Despite its small weight, it was a valuable currency during that period and was widely used for trade and commerce.
